Quote

Van Gogh was so under appreciated in his time, he sold only one of his 900 paintings while alive. Posthumously, he became one of the most famous artists of all time and his work is now considered priceless. Oh the irony.

More quotes by Vincent Van Gogh

Image
If I did not succeed I still thought that what I had worked on would be continued. Not immediately. But there are others who believe in things that are true.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Drawing is the root of everything, and the time spent on that is actually all profit.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
If you work diligently... without saying to yourself beforehand, 'I want to make this or that,' if you work as though you were making a pair of shoes, without artistic preoccupation, you will not always find you do well. But the days you least expect it, you will find a subject which holds its own with the work of those who have gone before.

Image
People are often unable to do anything, imprisoned as they are in I don't know what kind of terrible, terrible, oh such terrible cage.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting.
Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent Van Gogh

We have very beautiful bad weather here at present - rain, wind, thunder - but with splendid effects that's why I like it.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
For great things do not done just happen by impulse but are a succession of small things linked together.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
Love always causes trouble, that's true, but in its favour, it energizes.
Vincent Van Gogh

It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I consciously choose the dog's path through life. I shall be poor I shall be a painter.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I felt my energy return and that I said to myself, in any event I'll recover from it, I'll pick up my pencil that I put down in my great discouragement and I'll get back to drawing, and from then on, it seems to me, everything has changed for me.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I must continue to follow the path I take now. If I do nothing, if I study nothing, if I cease searching, then, woe is me, I am lost. That is how I look at it - keep going, keep going come what may.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I am not an adventurer by choice but by fate.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
How rich art is, if one can only remember what one has seen, one is never empty of thoughts or truly lonely, never alone.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
To the one party, woman is always heresy and diabolical. To me, the opposite.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
A good picture is equivalent to a good deed.
Vincent Van Gogh

As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see.
